    AYC sensitive?

    Does everyone else AYC act really sensitive? Purely ask because going around a left bend in my car I can get the TC on very easily, I get one bar of ayc just going around a roundabout, but when I turn right, the AYC doesnt really come on untill I am really pushing it and you can feel it working.

    Today I decided to give it a good run on the way home, and on every round about I had the TC kicking in going around, yet on the harder left turns it would work smooth and only go up 2 bars max.
    Pull out of a junction to go right and I can put the TC on, same going left ayc comes on but not TC

    Anyone got an idea its kind of become a hinderance, only on one roundabout it didnt kick in the TC and I felt it really work the back end around a corner, something I have never felt before

    Always assumed that the wheel bearing was causing epic amounts of drag on that side and making it go funny, but thats been done now, either that or its fuxored the AYC, thought changing the bearing would sort this out but it hasnt.

    So need to check the fluid tomorrow, but the AYC switch can I test it, is that possibly fubared? Tyre pressures are identical at the rear and front, could something else effect it, I can feel that the rear left feels looser around a corner, where as the rear right feels toight.

    Who could shed some light on this for me, I will try and rig up my camera to point into the dash so I can make a video of it tomorrow to show what I mean

    In over 2 years I've only seen the traction control coming on once on a roundabout following a GT3. I'd have to assume something else is going on for you to see the T/C so often

    Agreed. I think you either have a faulty ABS sensor or a sticking brake.

    yep, i would have gone with the abs/brake route.

    you haven'e lost a tooth of you abs wheel have you. but then that would make the abs/TC mess up on a straight line as well.

    Bye for Now!

    I see mine every now and then, normally with a fair old yank of the wheel and a huge amount of right foot!
